30 Best Italian Restaurants in Hoboken

“Mutz is a soft, mild cheese. You'd be forgiven for thinking that it would struggle to stand up to roast beef, roast turkey, hot peppers, sweet peppers, and the soft loaf encasing them all in a piled-high deli sandwich.

This mutz shines through. The stories about this place? The Biancamano lore? All true. This old-school deli shows why they're an institution.“

“Very intimate vibes. I took my partner for his birthday. We ordered a bottle of wine, the wild boar ragu and cacio e Pepe. My partner didn’t enjoy his cacio e pepe as much. I loved the wild boar ragu, the flavor was on point. Arancini were pretty good too. Overall we had a good time.“

“This is such a lovely place with a warm, friendly ambience. I brought my son here on Christmas Eve, and we had a lovely time. The chocolate martinis are amazing and the wine list is very good. We started with perfectly chilled and delicious oysters and then enjoyed aranciata with crab and a lovely lobster pasta dish. The vibe is inviting for families with young children as well and there is also a nice bar for adults only. This is a great place that I will return to soon !“

“Delicious meal. Service spot on. We’ll be back.“

“Food, service, and Xmas decorations were excellent! Can’t wait to go back!“

“The food and service are always on point here. I usually sit in the back room area but it was closed due to in-climate weather so I was seated indoor by the bar. The quality of the food and service is always amazing. My goto brunch spot hands down“

“So, no shade to anyone but….there’s Subway, and then there’s Vito’s. I had to stop eating at Subway sometime ago. The quality drastically reduced and it just didn’t hit the same for me. Last summer, a friend and I came across Vito’s. We were craving a good hero/cold cut and checked out some of the reviews and saw that they were good, so went inside. We ordered turkey heroes and they were EXCEPTIONAL. Now I know some may think that it isn’t hard to make or find a good turkey cold cut, but trust me, it IS, and I’ve had many bad turkey cold cuts. It’s quite disappointing. What really makes a bad turkey cold cut bad, is, well, the turkey lol. You can taste when it isn’t quality turkey, when it’s processed, etc. It just doesn’t taste the same. When tasting these turkey cold cuts from Vito’s, the bread was amazing, the turkey was amazing, it was fresh and filling! It was also good service. The staff took our sandwich orders and nailed them! I went back last week for another turkey cold cut and it was also more than exceptional. So simple, yet exceptional. Thank you for quality heroes, Vito’s. I need to go back to try some of their pastas and sauces because everything is simply made and authentic. I will absolutely be back. Also, they have a happy hour, everyone! I forget the pricing and details but it’s great! Go check’em out!“

“Few places are as accommodating as the staff here. The menu, although on available digitally, is extensive. Large selection of GF (gluten free) items. You can start with apps, choose from pizza or pasta as an entree. It is BYOB and that can make for a fun evening. They will accommodate to suit taste, we had someone that was sensitive to sodium, they adjusted sted the entree to suit. The place is small, the food tasty and seriously, the service is over the top.“

“Great pies! Huge selection.“

“The most amazing place and food and the owners are the sweetest people ever. We have gone to eat there and also caterer our grad party food was absolutely amazing. People are raving about it. The homemade burrata no words to explain the mouth watering deliciousness.“

“Fresh homemade pastas are delicious! Staff are very attentive & accommodating. We ordered 2 desserts to share for the four of us and they gave us an additional plate of dessert on the house...was a nice appreciated surprise! Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant. Only downside...it is small inside.“

“The best Italian food in Hoboken and surrounding area. Weekly specials, great cocktails and wine list. Sharon the owner makes it a special occasion always.“

“Great pizza, service was excellent.“

“Best Meatloaf " Thursday" Hands Down. .Great service , Always a seat available. u can Sit , Eat and Watch Sportscenter . Family owned Food is right from Your Grandma's Kitchen. 5 Star all the way“

“The homemade mozzarella was delicious! The sandwich we ordered was loaded with delicious, freshly sliced cold cut meats. The were several topping offerings and the peppers were delicious. The bread was soft, yet chewy and held up to the sauces, oils and vinegar. This is a definite stop for an original, genuine Italian sandwich. The homemade bottled sodas were delicious. You must know there is nowhere to sit. This is a togo only establishment. While the service was helpful it was not overly friendly or didn’t go out of their way to make you feel welcome, even though we shared it was our first time. Again, still worth it to enjoy this amazing sandwich.“

“Whatever you order is freshly prepared and delicious. I’ve been a regular at Leo’s for many years. Great staff, always attentive. Extensive wine list/drink menu.“

“I love this little deli so much and the two brothers who own it. I live next door so needless to say I am in there very regularly and the food is always delicious and fresh, they always ask how I am and I know they truly care about their customers.“

“We celebrated our granddaughterKylie Kerwin’s 13th birthday last night It is her favorite in Hoboken and they go out for dinner a lot. The food was outstanding and the service was excellent. They helped to make her birthday so great. Thank you to everyone and for sure we will be back again .!!“

“We needed 6 ft hoagies for our lacrosse squad after a night game. The hoagies arrived, as promised, as the team came out of the locker room. The service was great and the six footers (we got three) fed 60 people. The players said how much they enjoyed their post game despite a loss in the game. High praise, I'd say.“

“This is the best restaurant in Hoboken. Everything fresh and delicious! We sat outside and it was lovely!!“

“Giving a 4 star for the food as it was very good. Pizza was excellent and the two pasta dishes were good. Portions were smaller than expected for the price. Service was friendly but our server was preoccupied and needed to be reminded about the drink. The pizza was the highlight of the meal.“

“We had a great experience at Grimaldi’s Manhattan. The staff and the manager are awesome and food really good 🤩“

“Small but great – the bakery offers a wide selection of Italian baked goods. The staff is very friendly. Anyone traveling to New Jersey should definitely stop by. Keep up the good work – I'll be recommending you in Italy, Germany, and Belgium. Ciao!“

“Great time / great service“

“We had the place booked out for a lunch event! First; the staff was amazing! The whole street lost power and the staff did not miss a beat!

Awesome pizza and appetizers! If I was giving it the best out of ten; this is a strong 8.8! (I’m a tough grader; so this is excellent!)

A must-return!“
